Monarch Waystation #299 at the Virginia Living Museum reports the first monarch larvae found in the Children's Learning Garden. Two young 2nd instar larvae [just "earned their stripes," it looks like!] were found on 2 separate common milkweeds that had spread outside the bed they were originally planted in. They were both about 6-7 mm long. I could only get one clear shot of one, the other dangled on a thread of silk and I couldn't get it in focus.
